Tungaloy to expand TungTurn-Jet to include parting-off and threading lines for Swiss lathes

07.02.2018.

Iwaki, February 2018 – Tungaloy is expanding TungTurn-Jet, a family of high-pressure, coolant-through toolholders, to include parting-off and external threading toolholders, with the DirectTung-Jet capability for high efficiency in Swiss lathe applications.

The new TungTurn-Jet toolholders include parting-off holders from the TungCut series, which is now capable of parting a diameter as large as ø32 mm, or ø1.26”, and threading holders from the TungThread series, covering a wide range of thread standards.

The DirectTung-Jet technology makes the new toolholders compatible with the latest Swiss lathe model, featuring direct coolant supply from the tool post to the cutting tool – without the need for external coolant connections and tubes. This eliminates cumbersome installation of coolant tubes, significantly shortening machine downtime. The DirectTung-Jet system toolholders are also designed for use on conventional Swiss lathes, which require a coolant tube subassembly.
